CLEVELAND

The Cleveland Cavaliers will play a 2013-14 NBA preseason game at Memorial Civic Center at 7 p.m., Oct. 15, when they host the Charlotte Bobcats. This will be the second consecutive year in which the Cavaliers will play a preseason contest at the home of their NBA Development League affiliate, the Canton Charge.

“We were thrilled with the fan reception and atmosphere during last year’s preseason game in Canton and are really looking forward to bringing the Cavaliers back to play in front of the Stark County community who have embraced us and the Charge so enthusiastically,” said Cavaliers Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Kerry Bubolz said in a statement.

In their first-ever visit to Canton last season, the Cavaliers hosted the Milwaukee Bucks in preseason action before a sellout crowd at the Civic Center.
